This asana is recommended to those with droopy shoulders or a hunched back. It opens up the chest completely and stretches the spine, adding strength and flexibility to the shoulders, neck, and back. It is also a great posture-correcting asana. Mastery over Ustrasana allows us to practice a wide range of back-bending yoga asanas, almost effortlessly.
